WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I love it🙂 And I know you did not have tripod with you!! How did you do it? WOW!! I am glad to see a lot of well deserved comments here too🙂

Star filter? No, I don’t have a star filter. What’s a star filter?
This is handheld at 6400 ISO. I did have a tripod, but it was securely placed in the hotel room most of the time!😀
It’s too much hassle to drag around with the tripod all day long: going back & forth between the studios etc. I only bring the tripod with me when I’m going out for short photo walks.

Worries about noise is for pixel peepers. Rick Sammon has probably one of my all time favorite photography related quotes, “If a picture is so boring you notice the noise, you’ve got a boring picture.”

«Every hour, the refrains of a bugle are heard from atop St. Mary?s Church tower. The Krakow bugle is the oldest permanent radio music broadcast in the world. Hundreds of years ago a bugler in the 81-meter-tall St. Mary?s Tower began heralding the daily opening and closing of the city’s gates.
The bugler was also a municipal guardian. If he noticed danger, he would immediately sound his trumpet.
According to legend, the melody that is played today honors a bugler that a Tatar warrior killed in 1240.
From his tower perch he was the first to notice Tatar troops bearing down on the city. He sounded the alarm ? but his trumpeting suddenly stopped. A Tator arrow had pierced his throat.»http://www.krakowpost.com/article/153

You deserve a standing ovation for this photograph! Amazed that this is not HDR. As I said before you seem to be able to shoot numerous things quite well. Street Photography, landscapes to portraits… Your work stands apart from others.
